George •fiertry Rose,.Esq. the ofikenf Clerk of Parliaments - in reversion. It was laid on tho Table.

Caret S,ipmouvi presented a for repealing the Act, passed in the hst.Session of Parliament, to.etunower his MajeAty.tosecurg.and detain per , - sons ,s . nSpeetett of conspiring,against tis Majesty's person anti Government. . Having read' the title of the Bill,. his Lordship moved that it be now read a firsttime. . . lord HOLLAND rose, but on its being intimated that it was intended to pass the Bill thiorigh all its stages that night, he said be would reserve - what he.tradto say for the third reading. The Bill, WAS them read a first time. . After which, on Lord SIDMODTIT'S motion, the -standing order, No. 36, relative to the progress •of Public Bills, was read and suspended. His Lordship next moved the second - reading of the Btli, he had introduced for repealing the Habeas Corpus Suspension Aet. Lord HOLLAND, though be certainly did .not rise to oppose the motion, could not avoid saying a few,words on the circumstances which had led to it. His Majesty's Ministers hail dwelt on the difficulties they had experienced from the danger ous situation of the country, and lie was ready to acknowledge that, in proposing the present measure, they had done more than he expected from them : but whatever might have been the difficulties of the times, time Bill which was now iti)ollt to be repealed, he would assert, had been one of the grea'est calamities the country had, experienced. Last year Parliament had corr sewed, on the represent alloys of .his Majes ty's Ministers, supported by erroneous and im perfect e%idence, to sanction the measure they were now about to give up. •• Their Lordships bad then allowed themselves to be surprised • into a course; on -the -adoption-of which it was pretend ed the slfety of the country depended. His Ma jesty's. Ministers hail been either actually the tools of wicked and designing men, or had been ltd . away by the desire of obtaining undue power to theln , elves. Befieving, as he did, that the whole of their Lordships' proctedings•in passing the Act for suspending the Habeas 'Corpus hid rested- upon garbled anti unfair evidence, he inust state that he could not be satisfiiA with the were repeal of Char Act, and that he thought an inquiry into the grounds on which it lia. - I been Ossed ought to be instituted. No proceeding could have been more dangerous to the true in terests of the country than that to which their Lordships h;idgiven their sanction on evidence,so totally imperfect. The right which had been suspended, he wished to remind them, was not one which had been.granted by ally Act of Par, liamCnt Whatever. .The personal liberty of the people was no concession. It mai a right antece dent to any statute, and equal to the right of their -Lordships to vote in that House, or to the rightof she Icing to sit on the throne: He did not mean to say that there was any absolute Emitatiort to the power of - Parliament on this subject, when cir cumstances render e d such a stretch of power in dispensiblei but he did say, that to suspend this right of the people was an •act of as great violence as to suspend the prerogatives of the Crow n, and could only be justified by the clearest evidence of the most .overwhelming necessity. Consistently with thit view, he thought their Lordships could not let the latter pass over with the mere repeal of all Act which had been so unjustifiably passed. It was there Lordships duty to show, that a law which deprived the people of their most important right of personal liberty, was a calatnity wit kb was not to be inflicted without proof, o r tvit'ooot some subsequent proceediog, which would demonstrate to. the latest posterity, that they considered them selves pledged to guard against smelt unjust eu croachments in future. lie trusted, then, that Parliament, when all pretence of any danger front investigation should he over, would institute aft inquiry into the nature of the evidence'ou which the act of the last session had been passed. The evidence on such an inquiry must not be of the exparte and suspicious nature which their Lord ships were induced to accept of last year. It , "must not be evidence prepared by persons seek ing power, or wishing to retain it. Nothing,• could he 'satisfactory, and nothing would Satisfy the country, but_ a Lair and impartial investiga tion. A full examination into the circumstan ces which took place at. the passing of the act, and all which had. (recut red since, Was whill the occasion demanded, .when the liberties of did people had-been so . violently invaded. He Imsted it was unnecessary for him to urge the importance of-this right on their Lordships' minds, flat he •could not helpdwelling upon it. He must repeat, that it was the - 11:1681 ancient of All the rights of the people ofthis country. It rested 'midterm', t he Magna iGhartai the Act of Habeas Corpus, or the Bill of Rights, though it was re-asserted its them. The Act, 61 1672, io the reign of Charles Al. by which irwas legislatively -enacted, did not constitute the right. -The ancestor of the Noble Lord whom he now saw before bitn (alluding, me believe, to the Earl of Shaftesbury), then' stood up, honoitrably and ►nanfully, for the best right of the pecTle, anal con ; tribtttej,gteatly to that measure by which it was confitmed..
